had the building a blazing inferno in a very few minu-

5 Koln,

Germany.
Dear Mom and Dad:
At last I have a few mo-
ments to bring you up to date.
First going back to the ocean
voyage, apparently the crossing
was a very quiet one. When
they came to Canada they were
caught in the tail end of Hurri-
cane Flora. The stewards on
the boat were very nice. The
entertainment consisted mostly
of movies and watching the dan-
ces for us. The food was good
but we got tired of good food
after a few days.
When we landed in R^tter-
dam the whole family greeted
us and gave Thelma a bouquet
of flowers as well as Bruno's.
We then went to a restaurant in
Holland for dinner, compli-
ments of Helmut's father. Rot-
terdam consists mostly of bicy-
cles as far as I can see. Every-
one has a bike or motor bike,
old folks, young folks, every-
body. We couldn't get over it,
but in Germany they are not so
plentiful. Holland, as every-
one knows, is the land of wind-
mills and dikes. This is still
true! We plan to go to Amster-
dam in about a month with
friends. Amsterdam is like
Venice, the streets are canals.
We had no trouble getting
over the German border, and
when we got to Bruno's parents'
place we celebrated and drank
champagne to the early hours.
They really made us feel at
home. . Sunday we sat around
and then Helmut, (Bruno's bro-
ther) took us to the Dom which
is the most famous church in
Cologne and Germany. In the
next letter I shall endeavour to
describe the interior, as I have
already sent you a post card of
it, I think. It is truly mag-
nificent. The bodies of the
three wise men are buried there.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-
day, we scurried around on vis-
ta business, etc. Thursday,
yesterday, a very close friend
of Brunos, called Rollie, took
us through the town, part of it .
that is. He is here now and
they are going to take us to the
two museums, the American
centre, and away up in the
towers of the Dom. Yesterday
he took me swimming in a
beautiful indoot pool.
I start to work Monday morn-
ing. We have an apartment
now, thanks to Rollie and Bruno.
We were really lucky to get it.
It is in the wealthy district of
Cologne, and about 10 minutes
from Brunos: It has a lovely
park across the road. We will
move there a week from today.
It costs 130 marks a month.
The American dollar is approx.
4 marks.. I expect to•make
about 400-500 marks a week.
Everything is so expensive but
good.
Well Rollie is impatient. I
shall write again when I have
more time and quiet. The
weather is wet and damp, but
no snow. Say hello to every-
one for us!
Love,
Robert and Thelma.

County's Road
Budget Is Up
By W. E. Elliott
GODERICH—Huron county's
road budget is up to a million
and three-quarters, but $580,000
of this amount is for develop-
ment roads, payable in full by
the province, and subsidies of
$632,300 bring the county's
direct contribution down to
$533, 000, or about one-third of
the total expenditure.
Major items in the 1963
road program, now near com-
pletion, were reconstruction of
Road 6 in Usborne, $125,000;
the Jervis bridge north of Hol-
mesville, $45, 000, and a 150 -
foot bridge on Road 7 in Turn -
berry, $70, 000. Maintenance
costs of $320, 000 included
$125,000 for winter control.
The grading and granular
base on development road 669,
Brussels to Highway 86, is more
than half finished, chairman
Dan Beuerman said in the com-
mittee's report. The contract
with George Radford C struc-
tion calls for completion by
July 31.
As reported earlier, Hon. C.
S. MacNaughton has designat-
ed county road No. 4, Crediton
to King's Highway 81 (10.1
miles) as a development road
for pre -engineering in 1964. If
funds are made available at the
same rate as this year, it will
be possible to schedule com-
plete grading, granular base
and structures in 1965, paving
in 1966.
"If we ever hope to improve
our 400 miles to first-class stan-
dard we should be building 20
miles a year," said County En-
gineer James Britnell, "but that

GENERAL MEETING
Mrs. Wm. Wilson Presided
FORDWICH--The general
meeting of the United Church
Women was held last Thursday
evening in the Sunday School
rooms. Mrs. Wm. Wilson pre-
sided.
The theme of the meeting
was "Remembrance".. Final
plans were made for the Christ-
mas bazaar, to be held Decem-
ber 14th in the Sunday School
rooms. The committee in
charge is Mrs. Wray Cooper,
Mrs. C. Sotheran, Mrs. Jack
Wilson, Mrs. A. Ruttan and Mrs
Mel Allan. A report of the
nominating committee was read
by Mrs. Scott Clarkson.
The program committee for
is out of the question. On a
reasonable and proper mill rate
seven or eight is all we can
plan to build. We have many
county roads carrying fewer
than 100 vehicles a day, and
we cannot justify first-class
pavement, but we can build
210 in five years up to first-
class standard if we do not have
to go back and rebuild what has
already been done.
"We are rebuilding roads
constructed approximately 20
years ago, but I think we can
expect longer life in future.
The increase in truck loads has
been more than we should ex-
pect in the next 20."
the meeting was Mrs. Harold
Pollock and Mrs, Harold Doig.
The Remembrance Day theme
was continued with hymns. Mrs.
H. Doig recited "In Flander's
Field" and gave comments and
prayer. Mrs. H. Pollock intro-
duced Mr. Cloute of the Lis-
towel Secondary School staff,
who gave the address of the
evening. A solo, "Hymn of
All Nations" was rendered by
Mrs. Jack Wilson.
